👨🍳 步驟

Toast the glutinous rice in a dry pan over medium-low heat until golden brown and fragrant, about 8-10 minutes. Let cool, then grind into a coarse powder using a mortar and pestle or a spice grinder. Set aside.

Heat a skillet or wok over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of oil. Add the minced beef and cook, stirring, until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.

Transfer the cooked beef to a large bowl. Add the toasted rice powder, fish sauce, lime juice, minced lemongrass, minced garlic, sliced shallots, minced chilies, salt, and minced kaffir lime leaves (if using).
💡 專業提示: Start with less chili and lime juice, and adjust to your preference. - 4
Add the chopped cilantro, mint leaves, and green onions to the bowl. Toss everything together thoroughly to combine all the flavors.
💡 專業提示: Ensure the herbs are fresh and generously added for authentic flavor. - 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning. You are looking for a balance of spicy, sour, salty, and savory. Add more lime juice for tanginess, fish sauce for saltiness, or chilies for heat.
